Intex Inflatable Fabric Camp Mattress

Advantages: Small, comfy, brilliant.
Disadvantages: Not as good as a full size pillow.

..., but the comfort I felt that night, made me wish I had gone for this option years ago. Thanks my friend, it must be fate! It is very quick to blow up as well as deflate, and very comfortable, I slip a pillowcase over it and the difference is amazing. I could take a real pillow with me, but I am more than happy to have this second best option, I love my little headrest. Features include: A Comfy Fabric Top I-Beam Construction Dimensions: 17" x 11" x 3.5" Navy (not sure if they come in other colours) Perfect For Camping as well as travel Easy to inflate & deflate A quality Item made by Intex, who are an international company based in the States, most of their manufacturing however, is done in China, and they produce smaller items like pillows and airbeds, right up to full size swimming pools! I suppose one day it will get a puncture... Read review

Advantages: self inflating!!!
Disadvantages: damn expensive

...Ultralite Therm-a-rest Quite possibly the lightest and most compact self-inflating mattress in the world. Made with nonslip Staytek fabric on the sleeping surface, with damp and dirt resistant durable nylon on the underside. OK well theres the sales pitch, so on with the review....

The anti-slip treatment works very well and will keep all but the most restless insomniac in place. The firmness of the mat can be adjusted... Read review

Advantages: Very comfortable, easy to inflate
Disadvantages: Bit large for little old ladies, bit smelly when new

...did!! The argument went on a bit longer as me and my brother argued over who would have to share a bed with nan - he lost and I got to sleep with mum! The following day dad said his back and shoulders hurt him so bad that he was going to buy a camping mattress to sleep on as he couldn't stand another six nights of torture on the floor(he does exaggerate). That morning we all traipsed out in the car again for another hour, to find a camping shop. It wasn't very big and there wasn't great deal to choose from in the way of mattresses, but we found one we liked the look of, and the picture on the box made it look like it would be very comfortable once it was inflated. The particular one we bought was a Coleman raised quick bed large single mattress. It was reduced from £42.99 to £34.99 but dad needed to buy a pump to get it to inflate... Read review
